    Recent disinformation by the western media about Russia starting a new Cold War not only masks the threat of a US Anti-Ballistic Missile shield deployment but, as always, projects the blame on the victim, Russia.
    The US missile shield must be understood in the context of its geo-strategic nuclear deployment. Far from being defensive, its ultimate purpose is to obtain such an unassailable advantage over any other nuclear power as to be able to threaten any would-be opponent with nuclear (…)

    Good ideas are not adopted automatically. They must be driven into practice with courageous patience.—Admiral Hyman Rickover (1900 - 1986)
    Unfortunately, nuclear-powered submarines were his idea too...also known as the "Father of the Nuclear Navy"
    However, he said this in his old age:
    "I do not believe that nuclear power is worth it if it creates radiation. Then you might ask me why do I have nuclear powered ships. That is a necessary evil. I would sink them all. I am not proud of (…)

    The world knows that George W. Bush has always touted "compassionate conservatism". He’s out to prove it now with a brand new proposal for the future of Iraq.
    Bush and his gang of military advisors including thinktank professors, generals and "yes" men, have concluded that what’s best for Iraq is a task force of caring and concerned troops to stay in the Green Zone and on various large bases for the forseeable future and beyond...waaaay beyond!
    This has been our pattern in the past; we (…)

    TBR News.org – June 8, 2007
    I have two subjects of general interest to discuss today. The first concerns the flap over the Turkish threats to invade northern Iraq in the wake of Kurdish terrorists cross-border murderous activities inside Turkey and the second deals with a very serious problem with rising sea levels and genuine economic chaos for our east and gulf coasts.

    Israel and the Refugees Fifty-Nine Years of Dispossession

    For Palestinians, 15 May represents the date when they lost 78 percent of their historic homeland and the date that turned them into the world’s oldest and largest refugee population.

This May, Palestinians memorialize 59 years of (…)
